This was made for a customer requesting the US Navy Officer's crest with the person's name at the bottom. I used 50 stars in a circle around the plaque.
Please share this project. Great gift for my brother...

could you please share this project? I tried opening it and it says it isnt shared publicly?
Louie Podunavac · January 12, 2022
Did you do this all in acrylic?
Alan G Miller · January 26, 2022
Sorry for the delayed response. This should be shareable now. The project is in pine, I use the acrylic material to show detail only.

What Bit did you use?
Gordon Lewellen · May 26, 2022
Hey Gordon - I used a 90 degree V bit for everything except the cutout. I used a 1/4" spiral bit to cut the pocket and a 1/8" to cut out the insignia.
Troy Brady · May 26, 2022
Troy, love his crest. After Vietnam my door gunner enlist in the Navy and spent over 20 years retiring as a Captain and really want to make this for him. One of my questions, I say "one" because there might be more, how do I edit the name?
Duane Heda · June 13, 2022
Hi Duane - Glad you like it! I use Adobe Illustrator for my text, but you may be able to use Easel to curve your text.
Troy Brady · June 13, 2022
Apparently the whole file is locked and will not allow me to do any editing. Any chance of you unlocking it????
Duane Heda · June 13, 2022
Hmm... it doesn't appear to be locked on my end. Not sure what's happening.

No luck. I don't understand either. Guess I'll do more checking on my end end. But this the only file I seem to having trouble with. think I'll try another file from this site and see what happens.
Duane Heda · June 13, 2022
Found the problem Tony. The workpieces were locked. I clicked on the lock icon and no more problem!!!
Duane Heda · June 13, 2022
How do you edit the persons name??
Also, I routed and cut the crest and it came out perfect!!
Duane Heda · June 14, 2022
I don't think it can be edited in Easel. It was originally created in Illustrator and converted to an SVG file, then imported into Easel.
Troy Brady · June 14, 2022
I just now got it figured out. I went to Light Burn did the edit and exported it as a svg file and exported it to Easel. Doing a test run as I type this and looks good. Thanks for your time and help.
Duane Heda · June 14, 2022
My pleasure!

Troy, Nice job. I'm a retired CPO and new to XCarve. I have a couple of questions do you have this file set up for a Chief or Senior Chief ? That was my rank. I am try to use the file you shared and having a hell of a time with the letters.
Donald Cale · October 11, 2022
@Donald Cale - If you'll give me your email address, I'll send you a Senior Chief file you can use.

Is this made from two pieces, one on top of another, or is everything outside of the eagle carved lower?
Brad Sylvester · January 06, 2023
Hey Brad - It is made from 2 pieces. The top piece is about .7" thick and is inlayed about .25" into the bottom piece (1" thick).
Troy Brady · January 06, 2023
Great project
Randall Reyes · January 05, 2024
Did you use Vectric's Aspire program or Easel Pro for this project? I trying to get an idea how you carved the eagle. I am just getting my xcarve and trying to learn it...sorry
